THE LOVE OF GOD
"The love of God is my source of comfort and strength."

That's what the affirmative prayer said. But I paused. English is such a powerful language. The depths and layers of meanings that lie within simple words and phrases create its very power.

"The love of God." Is that God's love for me? Or my love of God? Or both?

None of that matters to the essential Truth, nor to the Power that resides in the affirmation whichever way you want to take it. But there are whole worlds of difference between His love for me and my love for Him. And another world created in the combination and joining of the two.

Such thoughts are lost in the business and busyness of the day, but they come back to dwell in our minds and hearts in the darkest hours of the night. "The love of God." "God's love for me." For me! "My love for Him." Gratitude. Confusion. Love. My comfort. My strength. From Him. Always.
